Chorizo Quiche

  • August 4, 2017

Ingredients

  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/2 lb ROMA Chorizo, casing removed
  • 5 large eggs
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 ½ cups grated Emmenthal cheese (about 6 ounces)
  • 1 cup diced boiled potato

Directions

  1. Spray a 9-inch glass pie dish with nonstick cooking spray.
    Mix the flour and salt in a food processor. Add the butter and pulse to form a coarse meal. With the motor running, add 6 tablespoons cold water in a slow stream, processing until the dough comes together. Then gather the dough into a ball and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll the dough out to form a 12-inch round. Transfer the dough to the prepared pie dish.
  2. Crimp the edges between your fingers to make a decorative border, removing any excess dough. Freeze the crust for 20 minutes.
  3. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  4. Line the crust with foil and fill it with pie weights or uncooked dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes. Then remove the foil and beans and continue to bake for 5 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Let the crust cool completely. (The crust can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and store at room temperature.) Leave the oven on.
  5. Cook the chorizo in a dry medium-size heavy saute pan over medium heat for 8 minutes, or until dry and crisp. Let the chorizo cool on a paper towel–lined plate.
  6. Whisk the eggs, milk, and cream in a large bowl. Mix in the chorizo, cheese, and potato. Pour the mixture into the cooled crust. Bake for 35 minutes, or until the filling is puffed and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Serve hot or at room temperature, cut into wedges.

Directions

  1. Wipe chicken with damp paper towel; remove excess fat. Rub chicken with part of the oil. Let stand at room temperature.

  6. Add chicken pieces and sausages to skillet; spoon sauce over cook, stirring often, 20 minutes, or until chicken is tender when pierced with a fork. Spoon into heated platter. Top with sautéed peppers. Serves 8.
